Ingredients

4 oz Chavrie goat cheese log

Instructions

Make vinaigrette by whisking olive oil, balsamic and honey until smooth.
In a large bowl toss greens with vinaigrette and mix well.
Evenly divide greens between four bowls. Top each bowl with one beet, 1 oz goat cheese and pecans. (* You can buy cooked beets or cook them yourself. I boiled the beets in water until soft, but they can be roasted in the oven as well, see notes above.)
